superficial dialogue

A few days after Mother Jiang made the phone call, she was already sitting in the living room of Ke Jiang's house.There was no sign of fatigue from the long-distance flight in her expression, and she waited leisurely for Ke Jiang to make tea for her.Holding the teacup, she took a sip, saw Ke Jiang sitting down beside her, and said calmly, "Would you like to tell me about you and Xie Baijing?"

Ke Jiang was drinking tea by himself, and almost choked on the tea.

"Let me guess," Jiang's mother said, "he's been with you all his days in America, and he's going to spend your birthday with you, isn't he?"

Ke Jiang showed a little embarrassment on his face.

He considers himself an adult, and no matter how good the relationship between mother and child is, he is unwilling to tell his mother about this relationship problem.But his mother is really smart, she can guess almost everything, looking at him, there is more helplessness than speculation: "Are you two going to be together again?"

Ke Jiang held back for a while and asked, "What do you think?"

Mother Jiang said gently, "You never asked me such a stupid question before."

Indeed.He had come out openly for Xie Baijing before, and he had never asked other people's opinions, even Xie Baijing himself didn't know it beforehand; even to Jiang's mother himself, he could definitely say "I like him very much". Can dispel his mother's suspicions.But now, he suddenly realized that the lonely courage at that time had become a bubble that dissipated, and there was nothing left.

The relationship with Xie Baijing had the biggest impact on him never because of money or other things, but because he would not dare to love others unreservedly in the future.Love is a raging torrent, and he just wants to watch it from a distance, not like before, he plunges into it and falls to the ground.Even the persistence and sincerity that Xie Baijing has shown for so many days clearly shows that he sincerely wants to redeem; there is indeed some misunderstanding between them, but these reasons are not enough for him to regain courage and impulsiveness.

In the end, Ke Jiang said somewhat dejectedly, "I will give you an answer."

Jiang's mother looked at him quietly for a while, and after a while, she still didn't speak, she bowed her head and drank tea by herself.

Ke Jiang's birthday this year is really no different from the year before. He held a small banquet in a fucking villa.The guests are mainly friends of him and his mother who are here, and only Zhang Yuntian is here from domestic friends.Originally, Ke Jiang didn't intend to ask him to come, but Zhang Yuntian was bored at home by himself and had nothing to do. He was here to celebrate Ke Jiang's birthday in name, but he was actually here to play and bring a new girlfriend.Ke Jiang naturally knew that, he just said welcome, welcome, warm welcome like a hotel welcome, come as you come, and play as long as you want.

He answered very enthusiastically, but when Zhang Yuntian came, he could see the absent-minded appearance at a glance, and asked sharply: "What's the matter?"

Ke Jiang: "What can I do? I'm fine. I worry about the fish in my pond. I'll die of old age."

Zhang Yuntian didn't expose him, he just said plainly, "Oh, brother, I'm here to give someone a message this time."

"Who?" Ke Jiang suddenly became nervous.

"Xu Li." Zhang Yuntian said, "He came to me the other day, crying so much that his nose was full of tears, he said he was sorry, and he almost knelt down if he didn't care about your apology."

Ke Jiang was in high spirits: "Don't pay attention to him."

He paused, and then said: "Brother, I will not interfere with what you are doing with him. Your friendship is your business, just don't tell me."

"If you want me to be honest, I watched you two grow up together, and I think he really can't bear it now." Zhang Yuntian sighed, "But when I think about what stupid things he did before, my heart hardens. Jiang Er , don't take it to heart, I won't follow along, just mention it to you."

Ke Jiang pulled up the corners of his lips and smiled perfunctorily.

If Zhang Yuntian hadn't mentioned it again, Xu Li would have disappeared from his mind.He doesn't care what Xu Li wants to do now, that dog can stay where it should be cool, and he feels sick just hearing the name.At this moment, his heart and lungs are full, his mind is full, and he only thinks about one person - Xie Baijing.

Xie Baijing previously said in a message that he wanted to celebrate his birthday with him.Although Ke Jiang chose to ignore it directly: he always felt that Xie Baijing was not quite right after his collapse, he was a little crazy, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he didn't dare to provoke him casually.Seeing that it was his birthday, Xie Baijing did not send a message abnormally. Ke Jiang should persuade himself to relax and calm down. What big scene has not been seen before, so there is a need to worry about it?Even if Xie Baijing came, he should get the same treatment as Zhang Yuntian, "Come as long as you come", in his case, anyway, he won't be the one who is embarrassed.Instead of muttering in his heart like he is now: Then Xie Baijing doesn't know where he lives, so he won't be wandering around the street waiting to be arrested like last time, right?He's not going out today.

After thinking about it again, how Xie Baijing wandered around exhaustingly, and what it has to do with him, he should be very eager.

Ke Jiang fell into the two extremes of his thoughts for a while, left and right for a while, listening to Zhang Yuntian's call in his ears, and responded casually on his face, only hearing the three words "Xie Baijing" She suddenly came back to her senses: "What?"

"I said Xie Baijing," Zhang Yuntian said patiently, "That kid didn't know why he went crazy, and came to find out where and how to celebrate your birthday."

Ke Jiang: "Did you tell him?"

"I don't want to either," Zhang Yuntian said helplessly, "He must join our game, isn't my baby a die-hard fan of him, I must have told him earlier."

The "baby" in his mouth must be his new love.Ke Jiang was used to the virtue of seeing one love the other and loving each other as deeply as sea, so he was silent for a few seconds and repeated the other party's words: "He joined your bureau?"

Zhang Yuntian: "Hey, don't you know? You can ask someone, maybe he has no one to protect him, he went to various games with his head, dealing with everyone, just to find out about you."

Ke Jiang waved his hands repeatedly without laughing, saying that his sister-in-law told her and told her, it's okay.But he didn't believe it very much in his heart, thinking that every time Xie Baijing saw him, he couldn't complete a few sentences, so how could he go to those wine tables where everyone was talking nonsense?That high-spirited one, he was there before, unless he insisted on taking it with him, he wouldn't take the initiative to go to any dinner, and he didn't even have the slightest sense of dealing with people.Besides, Xie Baijing's drinking capacity is not very good. Ke Jiang can knock down a few bottles of wine and force him to kiss him. He even inquired about him. It would be good if he could keep his innocence. After all, I heard that there are still many in the entertainment industry. Lord of good young boys.

Zhang Yuntian didn't act like his mother, asking him what is going on with Xie Baijing now.On the one hand, Zhang doesn’t gossip very much. On the other hand, he is also a person who attaches great importance to emotions. He is still looking forward to true love at an old age. When the little girlfriend calls Zhang brother, he will take his soul away and leave him without looking back. Next his birthday brother.

Sometimes Ke Jiang is quite envious.

Zhang Yuntian can always have passion and courage, for different people, at different times; but he can't, why is this?

From this day on, Ke Jiang's mobile phone has not stopped, and it is full of blessing messages from all over the world.Those who needed his reply had either already been invited to the banquet, or he directly threw it to the secretary to arrange, and there was no need to look at the rest.The birthday present was delivered a week in advance, and someone needed to write it down so that it would be convenient for future management.With his mother by his side, he didn't need to worry about such things. He just waited for the house to be brightly lit, surrounded by the crowd, and everyone else cheered. He had a habitual smile on his face and dimples on his cheeks.After clinking glasses, he hugged people one by one.When it was Brother Zhang's female partner's turn, he gave him a gentlemanly hug. The girl first wished him a happy birthday, and then asked nervously in a low voice, "Are you and Bai Jing for real?"

Zhang Yuntian's expression on the side changed, he hurriedly said: "Hey! Jiang'er, she is not sensible."

Ke Jiang laughed: "It's okay."

Ke Jiang was already good at socializing, but his mother was better than him in this aspect, and entertained every guest properly. The two mothers and sons were walking around, smiling all the time, both warm and familiar.Rather than saying that this is Ke Jiang's birthday party, it is better to say that this is a more important social occasion for a stable relationship.Ke Jiang's birthday is like this every year, nothing more than the difference in location.Mother Jiang has been considerate enough to him this year, and most of the guests invited are friends who have been friends for many years. Ke Jiang can be blatantly lazy and eat something alone in front of the dessert counter.

His mother walked behind him with a wine glass, and said plainly: "A guest is here."

Ke Jiang's temples twitched immediately, put down the plate calmly, turned around and nodded in greeting, signaling himself to go out to meet the "guest".

The guest who needs to be greeted by him in person is a tall and thin young man.This person is dressed in formal attire, with broad shoulders and narrow waist. He is naturally good-looking, although a bit too formal.Ke Jiang has sharp eyes, and he can easily see that it is one of his favorite brands that was released last year. He bought it long ago and put it in someone's closet.He was well dressed on a hot day, but he was wearing a baseball cap and a mask. When he saw Ke Jiang, he took off the mask with one hand and strode up to Ke Jiang, even panting.In the summer night wind, the face covered by the brim of the hat is still handsome.

"I didn't miss it." He looked down at the watch on his wrist, and sighed inaudibly, with some regret, "It's already nine o'clock."

Ke Jiang: "I can't let you in."

"I know," Xie Baijing said calmly, "I will cause you trouble if I go in."

Ke Jiang was a little surprised.But Xie Baijing just bent the corners of his lips calmly, revealing a smile, even if he was not under the lights and the camera, he was beautiful and eye-catching, making it difficult to look away.All the strong emotions in his eyes seemed to melt into soft and sticky honey, he spoke softly, and said a word first awkwardly: "Happy birthday."

"I can't stay too long, I can't hide my flight information, there must be reporters or fans chasing me." Xie Baijing said. "But happy birthday. I ordered a present for you."

He handed it over, and Ke Jiang could tell from the good packaging at a glance that it was probably a tie, and it was also from his favorite brand.

What's the matter with Xie Baijing, Ke Jiang thought to himself, last year he gave him a tie, and this year he gave him a tie again, why can't he give gifts at all?If it were him, he would have been able to hand over the presents long ago.

However, because of his family education, he still answered: "Thank you." After a pause, considering the few words Xie Baijing mentioned, he asked, "Are you going back then?"

"Yeah. There's another variety show," Xie Baijing said, "I can't push it anymore." His tone was still calm, apologetic and regretful, but without any complaints.In this sentence, Xie Baijing's original rational and sober nature is wonderfully displayed: after he tried his best, he found that the situation was not satisfactory, and he tried his best to control what he could control.The only emotional fluctuations are only related to Ke Jiang.But in his implied content, he didn't say how much urgent work he pushed and how much time was compressed in order to arrive today.

Ke Jiang pursed his lips.You don't even have to think about how hard it is to travel in this way.He wants to say that there is no need to do this, how old are people, what routines do not understand, and they also play some scenes of reluctantly saying goodbye after seeing each other, those rumored sweet love stories have to be shot after meeting each other in thousands of miles , They are not talking about a partner, Xie Baijing has nothing when he comes here, what is he trying to do?

For some reason, he suddenly remembered that the handsome young man at the funny birthday party last year had also hurried over from a distant studio.That person was not sensible enough, and he didn't even notify him in advance, he stood rashly in the Ke's house where the distinguished guests gathered, like a little phoenix that accidentally broke into the flock of birds, dazzling and isolated, and all the discussions were only worthy of being empty. scene.They looked at each other, Ke Jiang was full of tension and fear that could not be expressed, but the young man seemed to be the only one in his eyes.This is also the most important reason why Ke Jiang decided to come out, but later Ke Cheng asked, have you ever thought that Xie Baijing did it on purpose?

But on the night of his birthday, Xie Baijing's silent sadness on the bed, was it deliberately pretended?

Did the current Xie Baijing also do it on purpose?

"Come in," Ke Jiang said with a sigh, "I won't take you to meet others, come and have something to eat before leaving."
